This is a freeverse I wrote for When Love First Grows competition at HPFC. Its also the first time I've written a freeverse so please let me know what you think :)
L.O.V.E
he's only ever been
my cousins boyfriend
nothing more, nothing less
S . C . O . R . P . I . U . S
UNTIL
he becomes something more…
/h/i/s/e/y/e/s/
on mine
/h/i/s/l/i/p/s
on mine

I'm so sorry
every other guy
is a jerk
but not him
in my mind
is all the /m/o/m/e/n/t/s/
of us
/h/i/m/ lending me a book
when I lost m i n e
/h/i/m/ comforting me
when all those g-i-r-l-s
called me vain
/h/i/m/ writing me letters
every day he didn't see me
its only when
he k.i.s.s.e.s me
and I feel a fire
in my stomach
that I've n~e~v~e~r
felt before
that i realize
i'm trying to n!a!v!ig!a!t!e
my way through
this MAZE
that's called my heart
then I see /h/i/m/
I see him with her
laughing and joking
/h/i/m/ fiddling with the bracelet
on her wrist
while he tells her
how much she means to /h/i/m/
And I
h
u
r
t
h
u
r

when I realize
that he told me
the very same thing
and as I watch
h i m
i finally come to the end
of my maze
And I realize that i
L
O
V
E
/h/i/m/
and that
no matter what /h/e/ says
he will NEVER
t~r~u~l~y be
Mine…
